Linkwood 27, 1987-2014, Rum Finished Hogshead, 47.3% – The Whisky Agency / The Perfect Dram
I met my befriended Linkwood supplier last Monday, and when things quieted down a little bit I immediately sat down to drink this sample he brought me. Normally this wouldn’t be a whisky I’d pick up since it’s a rum … Continue reading

Linkwood 15, 2008-2023, Hogshead 306517, 59.9% – 240.000 bottles in Whiskybase
Lucky for us whisky fanatics, Whiskybase keeps bottling nice things for every ten thousand bottles that are added to the system. That is apart from the Whiskybase Plus bottlings, Archives and every other thing that comes out from the people … Continue reading

Linkwood 12, 2010-2022, First Fill Bourbon Cask 309279, 55.5% – Finn Thomson
Finn Thomson, not to be confused with the ThomPson brothers, but also a bottler of Scotch whisky. In sort-of fancy hexagonal bottles (or was is an octagon?). Anyway, the bottle came in a tube similarly ‘gonal’, which made the tube … Continue reading

Linkwood 1973-2004, Refill Bourbon Hogshead, 52.5% – Skorupa Rareliquids
If you’re thinking that you’ve never heard of this bottler, that would make perfect sense since this is the only bottling under their name. I had this sample a while ago and I still had no recollection of it, also … Continue reading

Linkwood 10, 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel Finish, 56.8% – Dràm Mòr
It happens quite a lot that I go in without any expectations, when trying a whisky. With Linkwood, I tend to go in with a bit of apprehension. Experiences have been mixed at best, but if you don’t try, you … Continue reading
Linkwood 13, 2008-2022, Hogshead 306520, 52.1% – Catawiki
Much like the Glen Moray of a little while ago, the Linkwood is another bottling that is not for sale through ‘regular’ channels. And by regular, I mean any. If you want to try this, you have to be in … Continue reading

Linkwood 28, 1989-2017, Sherry Cask, 43.7% – Cadenhead Singapore
A quite rare bottle today! It’s a bottling from six-ish years ago and according to Whiskybase its price is still € 225, so I don’t think it has shown up on Whiskybase’s radar since it’s release years ago. Even though … Continue reading
The Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay
Recently a new brand of whiskies was brought to my attention (Thanks, Tom) from a bottler called ‘Fable’. I had never heard of them, but what I found out was that they had just released a set of five whiskies … Continue reading

Linkwood 11, 2009-2021, Rum Cask Finish, 58.2% – King Cask
So this, in a way, is a weird one. I know that the cask was transported out of Scotland and into/onto Terschelling, one of the Dutch islands in the north of the country. It was recasked there in a rum … Continue reading
